Advanced configuration
The configurator can be used to configure advanced
functionalities. An overview of the configuration is
described in sections.
The
File
menu allows you to control configuration files.
Choose
New/Save/Open CFG
to perform the
corresponding action.
New CFG wizard
–
helps the user to go through all
basic configuration steps.
The
Tools
menu contains:
A language selector. English or Russian are available;
A diagnostic tool.
Save/Open DIFF
allows you to create a DIFF file. DIFF files are used to change only one or few specific
parameters without having to send the full configuration to the device. It is useful when updating over-
the-air.
Attention
The DIFF file will save all changes made to the configuration. For example, changing a number in the IP
field or marking a checkbox is considered a change. However, if a change was made and afterwards
reverted to a previous state (checkbox checked and unchecked afterwards), it will not be considered as
a change. The DIFF file will only record changes made to the initial configuration (a loaded preset
configuration is considered an initial configuration). Particular attention must be paid when creating a
DIFF file to avoid accidental changes to the configuration.
Generate SMS
–
used to generate SMS messages for device configuration via SMS. This functionality
is described in detail in the following document:
The control panel on the left-hand side allows you to select and control the device.
Select the COM port that the device is connected to and click
Connect
. At this point
the FM4 configurator checks the compatibility between itself and firmware in the
device. Every firmware version is released together with a recommended FM4
configurator. More information about different firmwares and recommended
configurators for them can be found in firmware changelogs. After the compatibility
check, three outcomes are possible:
1.
The firmware and configurator versions are compatible. Go ahead and continue
configuring the FM device.
2.
The configurator is too old for the current firmware version. An error message
will appear. The
Send CFG
and
Get CFG
buttons will be disabled. You will
need to download a new version of the configurator, recommended for the
firmware version.
3.
The firmware is too old for the current configurator version. An error message
will appear. The configurator will suggest to update the firmware automatically. To update the
firmware, click
Yes
. The firmware will be updated to the version supported by the configurator.
This can be done without an internet connection. Click
No
to close the message without updating
the firmware. If the firmware is not updated, the
Send CFG
and
Get CFG
buttons will be disabled.
We highly recommend using the latest firmware and configurator.
The
Send CFG
and
Get CFG
buttons are used to send and receive the configuration file to/from the
device. The buttons become active once the device is connected.
Send FW
is used to send new firmware to your device manually.
